Hey ladies! It's been a while, missed you guys!
I didn't see this topic yet, just wanted to see how everyone else's cycle was coming along because mine is freaking me out.
I had a cycle at around 8 weeks, I think. I was so busy I wrote down a guestimated date. Well one day it dawned on me that it hasn't been back since and I'm almost 14 weeks pp. (Had to use a calculator for that too.) Anywho, since it's a blizzard here, it has stopped me from running to buy a test. I'm still combination feeding so part of me is thinking nursing at night has kept AF away. But then I get nauseous, all over sore breasts, and lots of headaches... Since I'm stuck indoors I have googled lol. Most say it's another hormone drop or I could be about to start AF.
No periods yet for me either. I'm at 14wks pp. I breastfed/pumped for the first 6wks and then transitioned to EFF. I expect my period to come back next month.
I've had two cycles. I started BCP after my 1st. However, they make me hormonally crazy bitchy, my boobs hurt and I can't remember to take the pills. FF here. Dh and I are discussing using pull out and condoms....really wish I could do the copper t iud
Oh man ... Could this be the first bfp of N14?!?! I've got no input here as AF hasn't returned yet. I'm 16 weeks pp & EBF.
Good luck!!
Oh dear that sounds so scary to think lol!! I'm just waiting on my nexplananon appointment, I'd keel over if they said they couldn't put it in because I'm pregnant again!

lovebuggies12 I had something similar at 8 weeks, and Googled it (good old Google). It said there's something like 2 month postpartum bleed.
I EBF- she hasn't had one ounce of formula, and I had a cycle last week of January, at least I thought I did. Haven't had another one yet. And believe me, there's no way I'm pregnant. Haha.
I EP and have had 3 periods so far pp one of which is just started to wrap up. So far all have been super heavy but I have noticed the amount of time they run is going down and the heaviness last for 2-3 days vs 5-6. I hope and will be super happy when I can stop using the maxi and go back to my super thin carefree pads. I'm not a tampons girl at all. On the plus side I still don't get the cramping . However speaking of quick turn around for pregnancy I feel do bad for my daycare lady's twin sister. She has 2 elementary age step kids part time, a almost 2yo, a 7mo, and just found out that not only is she pregnant again it's twins.
I just had my first cycle this month at 13 weeks pp. combination feed formula and breastmilk.
I had a little bit of bleeding a couple times that I thought was AF but wasn't around 6 and 8 weeks pp. so could have just been 2 month pp bleed like HutterFlutter said
wicked22 eep! H and I always fear that when we try for our "last one" it will be spontaneous twins or triplets lol. A friend of ours has 4 kids, all pretty close together, the last two being twins.
I also had some very very light bleeding about 8 weeks. I'm 14 weeks pp today and EBF.
I know a lady who was going in to get an IUD because they were two as done and found out she was going to have triplets instead! They're identical and adorable but I don't think it was planned. That would be terrifying going from two to five kids like that. Eek!

This happened to my mom and stepdad. They had my sister H, then when she was about 1 yr old my mom found out she was pregnant with twins (my sister and I were 9--also twins haha). So my mom had 5 kids in 3 pregnancies!

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Sweet Jesus lol all girls, too?
4 girls 1 boy... I feel bad for my brother J haha. I have another little brother, from my dad and his ex, he's a yr younger than the twins. We are quite the herd.
No period yet here. We're 12.5 weeks postpartum and EBF but she sleeps through the night and has for weeks. I keep thinking it's coming, especially based on my acne. I was given a prescription for the mini pill but no instructions on when to start it. I'm not really interested in bc and it's not necessary given my inability to DTD. (too painful, DH wants me to check in with my doctor since I even bleed a little in the stitch area last time we tried.) I'm a little embarrassed to call in case my pain and bleeding is normal and I'm overreacting.
I EBF. I still haven't had a period yet at almost 12 weeks PP.
briannea, I wouldn't hesitate to call your doctor's office and see if they would like to see you! Pain and bleeding at 12.5 weeks PP seems like a fairly long time to have to deal with that!

13 weeks PP tomorrow and no AF yet. I combo feed but try to mostly BF. I'm also on the mini pill and have been super diligent about taking it because I'm terrified about getting pregnant again. My husband is only 11 months younger than his brother and we ARE NOT following that path. Although since I have no sex drive lately I guess I don't have to worry too much about that since we've only DTD once since I gave birth. It was not pleasant....

I ebf, I'm 13 weeks PP and no period yet. I didn't stop bleeding until after New Year's, though. I was down to slight brown spotting and then it went back to bright red and filling a pad a day. My MW assured me it was normal so I just dealt with it. Now that I'm finally (finally) feeling 100% healed (it only took 12 weeks) I'm loving not being sick, not feeling sore, and not having a period! I got a package of cheap tests and poas every two weeks or so just to give me peace of mind. We want more, but not quite yet.
Regarding the surprises... there was an N14 mom with the same story! They went in after kid 2 to see about BC, found out number 3 was on their way already. So after number three, she goes on an IUD and gets pregnant with identical twins! The twins were her N14 babies.
I have had the same thing. I thought I had a cycle mid Jan and nothing yet. I tested last week and it was negative. I had no idea there was a 2 month bleed
So jealous of all you ladies that still haven't gotten your period. I'm 17 weeks pp on Sunday and have already had it twice. Ebf did not keep it at bay:(
